I heard the Line CD of "Back To The Drawing Board' was a needle-drop
with very poor sound quality. Castle UK put out the "Rubinoos Anthology"
a couple years back. Its all the first album plus half of "Drawing
Board". Despite good sound quality it was a disapointing comp by Castle
which usually does a good to outstanding job on all thier reissues.
The Rubes need a good Anthology with their best LP cuts plus all the
rare singles (Gorilla) flipsides (the brilliant sunny "As Long As I'm
With You" - Which I played many more times than the A side!) several
tracks from the "Party of 2" EP, maybe even a few cuts from Vox Pop.

I have some old old 50's-60's vintage reels made by a company called
"Irish" with the Opelika, Alabama address stamped on the reels - did
this company get bought out by Ampex later on or was that thier budget
label?
